Meet Rick
At the core of Rick's consulting philosophy is a focus on six areas, and when well-honed and purring like a high performing engine, business will thrive and people and teams will grow happily and successfully.
People - Culture - Operations - Clients - Strategy - Financial Performance. Easy to list … but mark yourself out of 100, and you may be surprised.
From an insurance background to a marketing, advertising and comms environment and into a recruitment, sales and consulting world, Rick has worked with clients internationally, nationally and locally. Rick’s deepest experience is in the staffing/recruitment sector, from small and scaling businesses, through to large enterprise level, and that has allowed him experience across all industries and sectors.
Focus areas include working on with client segmentation, new client acquisition, and client development programmes with Honda of The UK Manufacturing and Aston Martin, Sky and BT, GCHQ and a range of Councils and NHS Trust (to mention just a few). He has implemented Net Promoter Score (NPS) initiatives in both the UK and the US, driving not just growth but profitable growth and fostering increased customer loyalty.
What sets Rick apart is not just his professional prowess but also his humility and tireless work ethic. Rooted in Yorkshire values, Rick is dedicated to your success, working relentlessly to help you achieve your business goals. His impressive network of trusted business and professional contacts, coupled with glowing references, underscores the trust and respect he has earned throughout his career, and his network of Associates and access to subject matter experts - from M&A to L&D, and every other letter in-between!
Away from the boardroom/classroom, Rick is a family man with a wife and two sons, Fin and Will, along with two lively labradoodles, Lola and Annie. Nestled in an old farmhouse in Gloucestershire, Rick enjoys walks along the River Severn, weekends away in his beloved VW T4 campervan, and indulging in his love for curry, sports, and the pursuit of '‘making things better — the best.’ Whether completing marathons for charity or coaching academy football, Rick's commitment to improvement shines through in every aspect of his life.
